About NBI Clearance Photo Maker
The NBI clearance online portal asks for a recent 2x2 inch photo on a white background, uploaded as JPEG under 2 MB. This page opens the ID picture maker with all of that pre-set: upload a selfie, the AI removes the background and frames you head-and-shoulders, and the JPG is kept under 2 MB at exactly 600 × 600 px.
Need prints as well? Choose A4, Long or 4R in the print-sheet option to get a PDF with multiple copies and cut lines. Your photo is processed in a temporary file that is deleted immediately.
How to make a 2x2 or 1x1 ID picture online
- 1Upload a front-facing, head-and-shoulders photo in good light — a phone photo is fine. JPG, PNG, HEIC and WebP are accepted.
- 2Choose the picture size: 2x2 in (PRC, CSC, NBI, school), 1x1 in (BIR, school), passport size 35×45 mm (DFA), or another preset.
- 3Keep "Remove background (AI)" with White selected for a plain white background, or switch to "Keep my background, just crop" if your photo already has one and drag the box over your head and shoulders.
- 4Optional: tick the name tag and type your name as "SURNAME, FIRST NAME M.I." — required for PRC and Civil Service exam pictures. Choose JPG and a size limit (e.g. under 2 MB) if you are uploading to a portal, and pick a print sheet paper if you will print.
- 5Click Make ID picture, check the preview, then Download picture (and the print-sheet PDF). Print the sheet at 100% / Actual size and cut along the grey lines.
Frequently asked questions
What photo does the NBI clearance application require?
A recent 2x2 inch (51 × 51 mm) colour photo with a plain white background, facing the camera, uploaded as JPEG not larger than 2 MB. Since 2024 the NBI also captures your photo at the centre, so this is for the online profile and the forms that still ask for one.
Does the NBI photo need a name tag?
No. Leave the name tag unticked for NBI. (PRC and the Civil Service exam do require one.)
Is my photo uploaded or stored?
In AI background-removal mode the photo is processed in a short-lived temporary file that is deleted the moment your picture is returned; in "Keep my background, just crop" mode nothing leaves your device. Nothing is kept, logged or shared.
